The very idea of capitalism is based on survival of the fittest - and that means using your power and influence to pass laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations that benefit YOU, not your competitor.
Wrong. Capitalism does NOT in any way involve laws that provide protection from competition.

Finally, what in the world does any of this have to do with National Socialism? What a dumb comment.
Because the "using your power and influence to pass laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations that benefit YOU, not your competitor" thing is how socialist governments work, to protect the politically favored.
Keep trying to twist this to fit your talking points. This has nothing to do with political correctness or any war on Christmas. This kid couldn't sell fake Rolex watches on the sidewalk either.
Oh, yes it does.
It's the same twisted leftist garbage that's killing us.
The Portland Saturday Market is a farmers + food + craft market. The vendors have to fill out applications for a booth there. So of course they have rules against others trying to sell goods within the market. The article stated that the girl could sell the goods right outside of the market. In fact, there's an "unofficial" market just down the road for that sort of thing.
Some Farmer's Markets have a children's vendor area. That's something for the Sat. Market to consider.
But um, sure, I suppose you're free to make this story political and then proceed to rant about your belief system.
What's laughable, is requiring a license to sell mistletoe. But you never gave that a second thought.
You accept the idea that everything but breathing requires permission from your government, and that you want taxed.
Why should she be exempted? I don't care if she is or is not taxed. She should get the permit to operate like everyone else. What puts her above the other vendors at the event - because she's a girl selling mistletoe?

I bet every single lefty on this thread would be OUTRAGED if OWS people weren't allowed to sell grilled cheese sandwiches or their multi-colored bracelets though. Hell, they were outraged that the sunset laws at the park were being enforced.

The OWS people were accomplishing nothing and were pathetic.
[selling grilled cheese sandwiches would have been an improvement]
